Jazz Gaming will kick off its second season in the NBA 2K League on Friday with a pair of matches in the group stage of The Tipoff tournament.
The NBA 2K League is an esports venture founded by the NBA and Take-Two Interactive Software. It features 21 teams competing in a combination of regular-season, tournament, and playoff games.
Players compete as unique characters — not existing NBA players — in 5-on-5 play; no artificial intelligence is used. Jazz Gaming, which is affiliated with the Utah Jazz, has a six-man roster, which includes two returning competitors and four new draft picks.
